Talented October, 2012 | Page 16

Yes, thank you,.. I am very proud of what I & my label BSE Recordings have

accomplished since the beginning. We have been dealt so many obstacles in this

industry and continue to, but thankfully the Music has spoken loud enough for the

world to hear & all my fans are strongly behind this movement which makes me

so happy. Next I am releasing my new Single “Waiting” off of Substance on

October 8th and the Video will release in the following weeks. Im very excited for

my fans to see this video. We just finished filming it. I am getting ready to start

rehearsals for my upcoming “Substance” tour in 2 months. I also will be

appearing on the Ellen Degenerous Show in the Fall (I love her) I am looking

forward to all of it !

Talented heard that you will be apart of the AMAs this year which is phenomenal

what we dont know is what part you will play in this event and how excited are you

to be a part of something so BIG?

Yes I am ecstatic ! It is a definite honor for me to be a part of the AMAs. Its has

always been one of my favorite awards ceremonies along with the grammys of

course. It covers a broad range of Music & I always appreciate that. In the show I am

going to be a presenting an award, and on the Pre-show I will be performing so look

out for your girl ! ;-)

Thanks Arika for sitting down and giving such a wonderful interview. Im delighted to

even know you and words cant express my appreciation to you. I wish you nothing

but everlasting success. Remember readers you can purchase Arikas new album

“Substance” on Itunes now!

It has been my pleasure, Thank you & everyone at Talented for your true & genuine

support. And for connecting with me and helping me share the Love…& the

Substance.

Peace & Blessings xo
